I would much prefer a 5 year old motor with 1000 hours on it then a 10 year old with 100. Like most things on boats they last longer being used.

You are right on the mark there. Use it or lose it.

that is a missleading statement. If the engine is in good nick and there has been and there is OIL in it and no rust eats it away a 10 year old engine with 100 hours on it is still a brand new engine. Metal does not go bad like food in your refrigerator.

yes metal does go bad . without regular oil changes an engine will be eaten away by a reaction in the oil . change the oil on time not hours use !!

under normal circumstances it shouldn't without use, but lets just agree to disagree...

Looking forward to seeing this one arrive here next week. First boat for a non sailor! I'm hoping the mooring is not too close to mine. It was on my saved list for that lottery win too, not many tiller steered Farr's about.

I spotted this one on the weekend at the Kettering marina. Lovely lines and awesome refurb.

Looks good but there must be a limited market for centreboard boats I presume.

I have no idea Ramona, I haven't had any experience with them, but I imagine someone wanting to club race could be more the target market. Concept is good and handy, and I've seen plenty of Euro designed boats online that feature swing keels to add flexibility to the function of the boat. I wonder how much weight would be in this particular centre board, any idea? There was another one of these Adams 13 Centre board designs around Kettering a while back (Called Sailmaker). I spoke to someone who had raced on it when it was based in the north of Tas. I think he said that they pulled the Centre board up on downwind runs to reduce drag.

I believe "Sailmaker" came from Cairns and belonged to a sail maker.

Joe designed the Adams 13 for himself. "Friday" is not an original A 13 design which had transom hung retractable rudders.

She is beautifully put together though and the price is good for a yacht of that size and standard IMHO.

That's interesting, I always wondered about the name. Not sure where it is now though? it was based here in Kettering and I know that Dennis sold it around the time we bought our boat, so that's going on 20 months back.

Yes I agree with your assessment, it will be a good buy for someone. It's on the hard now and under offer I heard.

Here is an interesting boat.

Toccata was discussed on this forum quite a bit in 2015.

www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Sailing/General/Jarkan-39-How-much-is-it-worth?page=1

She is on the market again in Paynesville.

Apparently "was designed by John King for the owner of Jarkan yachts, Mr Kanga Birtles to compete in the 1987 Melbourne to Osaka two handed yacht race, but didn't make it on time."

Since 2015 this boat has undergone a huge Lydia style refit including new mast, boom, rudder etc. The extent of the refit suggests Toccata may have needed quite a bit more work than our 2015 discussion suggested.

I wonder what would be needed to finally upgrade her for the next M2O ?

Great fit out, looks like a lovely boat from the pics.

Anchor windlass and systems I would be having a good inspection off. other than that it looks sound via the pics.

The Young 88 on the right of the first picture was built in Tassie, I sailed a few races on her with great success. I wondered where she'd ended up. beautifully built, and comfortably fitted out.

Cole 35 below 30 grand!

$7k for rigging, $4k for sails and that's before you look downstairs and you paint the rig yourself!!

One of the sweetest 24 footers you'll ever find!!
Built to last by my dad, although sold before he launched her.
Great little weekender and coastal racer
Anyone who is a racer of an older vintage might remember 'Mozzie' and 'Crimper' that were gun JOG boats in their day and flush deck. Well this boat is the same hull with a cabin based around the Northshore 27!

Interesting. Don't bother trying to enter Greenwell Point or a lot of other ports.

Nice set up and that's an impressive nav station.

I've been watching that one for a while. There's a video of the RTW race on board at .
